Dusty Curtains Make Me See Red

I’ve been having a problem the past couple of weeks with my contact lenses. All of the sudden, my eyes will begin to itch and water. I end up removing my lenses to let my eyes rest. The other night I realized I am nearly always out in the family room when this happens. This morning I walked out there and the eye itchiness immediately began.
The probable culprit? Curtains. I’m going to take them all down today and wash them, because it’s been long enough that are probably dusty. I am allergic to dust and curtains are one thing I often forget to clean as often as I should.
Think about it. How often do you take down all of your curtains, wash them, hang them to dry to avoid shrinkage, iron them, and put them back on the curtain rods? I am willing to bet most of us don’t do it as often as we should.
So, I stood out in the family room to try and figure out if it is time to just replace the curtains with Faux Wood Blinds. I am leaning toward the faux wood, because I get a lot of hot sun in the windows in that room and I feel like real wood may not hold up as well. The blinds would look nice and wiping them clean with a damp sponge would be so much easier than taking down and laundering curtains.
I’m looking online and the Select Blinds website has several different varieties of faux wood blinds, plus a current coupon for 25% off everything on their site. Since I am unsure what the textures and colors really look like from the online pictures, I am going to take advantage of their free samples and then go from there.
